The profound sorrow occasioned by the
sudden passing of the Greatest Holy Leaf, as well as
the unnumbered messages of sympathy received
from friends and believers in East and West, all of
which the Guardian acknowledged in person, have
caused the unavoidable delay in giving his immediate
attention to various matters referred to in your
communications to him. He deeply regrets the
obstacles which stood in his way and which by their
very nature he found them impossible to surmount.
